It’s worth reminding ourselves that the multi front Real War has deep roots. Those multiple fronts may appear to be disconnected, but they’re not. Ukraine, Russia, Covid, White Supremacy, Climate, you name it—every attempt at inducing public panic and fear comes is part of an overall goal. It’s all pushed by the usual Prog suspects and the goal is total social control.
This is a big part of the reason why the Hillary confirmations are important. The Russia Hoax was important, not because the Dems thought they were fooling the Establishment GOP—the anti-Trump GOPe certainly was not fooled, but because fear of Russia had been drilled into the American psyche for generations and would hopefully serve the purpose of petrifying mainstream normals from speaking out against the hoax. To a great extent the hoax succeeded. How often have you read articles beginning with disclaimers about how Putin is a “thug”, Russia is evil and intends to take over the world, and etc., rather than forthrightly demanding: Where’s the beef? That behavior is called bending the knee to the hoax. Once you do that, once you decline any degree of credibility and refuse to search further for the truth, you’ve conceded the terms of combat to the enemy. You’ve lost.
Again—this is why the Hillary confirmations matter. And so I’ll spend another day on it. There is some good commentary out that ties things together.
Michael Tracy gets half of the picture right—he misses, or maybe simply takes for granted, the part about freezing conservatives in their reflexive anti-Russia box. Still:
The people who constantly profess such righteous indignation about how "American democracy is under assault" never seem to mind that the national security state launched an unprecedented intervention into the 2016 presidential campaign based on completely fabricated propaganda.
The continued unraveling of Russiagate remains highly relevant for a number of reasons, including that it radicalized the Democratic Party media/professional class against Russia -- hence their fervent support for the ongoing proxy war against Russia.
The point behind what he actually says is this: The goal of an all out war on Russia has been in the Deep State works for a long, long time—arguably since the Clinton years. The Russia Hoax, hard on the heels of the Ukraine coup provocation of 2014, served the purpose not only of threatening Trump supporters with the charge of being “soft on Russia”—unthinkable for so many “conservatives”—but it also galvanized liberals to a similar degree of unreflective anti-Russian sentiment. That’s called preparing the battlefield, and we see it playing out now.
Consider this moron:
Except, here’s the thing. John Kennedy isn’t actually a moron. He simply thinks the American people are. I don’t for a moment think he believes what he’s saying, nor that Mitch McConnell believes the anti-Russian propaganda that he puts out. Ukraine has served as a gigantic money laundering center for both parties. Anti-Russian rhetoric brings in campaign contributions—and it doesn’t matter whether or not your state has military bases or industries. If you’re a senator or a representative, your vote counts nationwide.
Now, TGP quotes Trump today, taking the WSJ to task for their shameful years long anti-Trump shilling:
“Come On WSJ, Put Your RINO Hatred of Me Away…Our Country Is Going to HELL!!!” – President Trump to Wall Street Journal
American Thinker has a very nice article this morning that comments on the WSJ’s attempt to do the right thing. But don’t be fooled. The WSJ and the entire DC establishment and MSM has known all along that this was all a hoax. There were no big exposes of all the lying for the simple reason that it all served their agendas. I’ll quote the ending portion:
What it means that Hillary Clinton did it
The Wall Street Journal ran a scathing editorial on May 20, called "Hillary Clinton Did It".
…
After that, the Journal explained how the Clinton campaign used the self-generated news of the investigation and the initial Slate article that came of it, both of which they had planted, as the basis for making tweet after tweet to the press about the Slate report to churn up mass coverage about it in the press and convince the public that the investigation was about something serious.
The concluding paragraphs of the editorial are worth quoting in full:
In short, the Clinton campaign created the Trump-Alfa allegation, fed it to a credulous press that failed to confirm the allegations but ran with them anyway, then promoted the story as if it was legitimate news. The campaign also delivered the claims to the FBI, giving journalists another excuse to portray the accusations as serious and perhaps true.
Most of the press will ignore this news, but the Russia-Trump narrative that Mrs. Clinton sanctioned did enormous harm to the country. It disgraced the FBI, humiliated the press, and sent the country on a three-year investigation to nowhere. Vladimir Putin never came close to doing as much disinformation damage.
But the dirty secret—and not a little one—is that everybody who was anybody knew it was a hoax. The point was to remove Trump. Not because Orange Man Bad, but because of his policies. In that regard, please pay attention to what Zuckerman says in the next paragraph about relations with Russia. None of the harm that was done was done by mistake. Moreover, the harm done to America wasn’t only done by the Clintonistias—it is very much the responsibility of their enablers.
The harm done to the United States by the perfidy of the Clintonistas cannot be overemphasized. That "three-year investigation to nowhere" represented the Clinton-Obama attempted takeover of the government. (Call it the COAT campaign.) With congressional Republicans unwilling to prevent the COAT campaign, the Trump administration was blocked from putting U.S.-Russia relations on a rational, mutually beneficial footing, to the point that, under the present Senate leadership, the specter of war with Russia is no longer an unthinkable thought. The COAT campaign succeeded in keeping the Ukraine pot boiling, with the water first heated by Obama's stirring up of anti-Russian feeling in Ukraine, leading to the Maidan revolution that ousted the legitimately elected president of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych.
A political opposition ready to lie about Donald J. Trump, supported by a media prepared to believe the worst about Mr. Trump has given us the current reality where the deep state is using NATO as an instrument to humiliate Russia, and Republican leaders in Congress are going along with the plans of the deep state to make the globe an unsafe place except for the globalist hegemony.
Most of the press will indeed ignore disclosure of the source of the baseless accusations of Trump-Russia collusion -- it is no accident that the New York Times ignored the Mook testimony in its May 20 editions. It is, moreover, unlikely that the press will be humiliated by its mendacious coverage of Hillary Cliinton; the media, to the contrary, wears its mendacious coverage of Clinton and the anti-Trump neo-totalitarians as deserving of journalistic honors.
Never in the history of this Republic have so many citizens been so ill-served by so many "elitists" in government and the media.
Meanwhile, while our attention is otherwise occupied, the globalist elites are up to more of the same … Yes, Ukraine gets a mention:
Gates, Fauci Funded Experiments on Bird Flu — Will It Be the Next Pandemic?
Natural bird flu is notoriously harmless to humans, but Bill Gates and Dr. Anthony Fauci have, for many years, funded research to develop a bird flu pathogen capable of infecting humans.
Story at a glance:
As news of the COVID pandemic winds down around the world, we’re suddenly seeing warnings of another pandemic brewing — bird flu, aka avian influenza (H5N1).
Natural bird flu is notoriously harmless to humans, but Bill Gates and Dr. Anthony Fauci have, for many years, funded research to develop a bird flu pathogen capable of infecting humans.
Some of that research has been undertaken in Pentagon-funded biolabs in Ukraine.
Gates-funded research by Dr. Yoshihiro Kawaoka, in which the bird flu virus was mixed with the 2009 H1N1 (swine flu) virus, creating an airborne hybrid capable of completely evading the human immune system, effectively rendering humans defenseless against it.
The U.S. and other countries have already started stockpiling H5N1 vaccine, and the H5N1 vaccine Audenz is being marketed “for 2022.” As if on cue, the first-ever H5N1-positive case was identified in the U.S. at the end of April.
As news of the COVID pandemic winds down around the world, we’re suddenly seeing warnings of another pandemic brewing — bird flu, aka avian influenza (H5N1).
And Fox News still won’t mention 2,000 mules.
Just like everyone (eGOP state and federal, Judiciary, DOJ, Media, and Internet giants) knew the 2020 election was stolen by the Democrats, but they justified their deliberate blindness, because it got rid of Trump.
So True!

A very famous radio (do you remember what that was) commentator used to say: “and the rest of the story”. You ended without the rest of the story. Or in Yiddish we might ask: nu?
